I have misplaced the only Windows machine I owned since I moved. I got an Intel Skull Canyon NUC solely for gaming. I have NO idea where it is in my house or the storage unit. This is driving me nuts I misplaced something like this.

The Limecast podcasting service is coming along well. I got some fairly decent seed data into the database to show the public podcast index and public podcast homepage.

Hoping to get the final version of the RSS feed ironed out this week and then it is onto supporting some of ActivityPub to let anyone follow podcasts from any fediverse account they have to get new episode posts.

Today in upstate NY it swung from -6° F at 6am to 14° F at 11:30am. A 20° difference and it still fucking cold.

Does anyone have microphone recommendations especially with good Linux support. I don't need it to be expensive. I plan to use it for podcasting and recording in a semi-open area since my office is the dining room.

I think I came up with a good theme feature to run a podcast as a section with Zola and generate the right RSS feed for distribution.

I will have to write about this.

After years of specialized programs I've made some good progress, but mentally they are tedious. I think it is time to reset the clock and get back to basics so I am going to start Wendler 5/3/1 Boring But Big variation and really push the boundaries of my own strength.

I still plan to do accessory work with sandbags and other functional movements to stay lose and athletic.

Finally closing on my old house next week. I am very much looking forward to finally get out from underneath ALL (school, credit, auto) debt from making this move. This will give my wife, kids, and myself some freedom live in a way where we do not have to deal with anything we do not want to in order to make it to retirement age. While this won't make us "rich" (we don't want to be) it will give us a lot of peace of mind.
